Data Subject Access vs Freedom of Information Requests

Overview


Handling Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), Freedom of Information (FOI) requests and data protection requirements is a challenging and time consuming process. Organisations are held to a high standard and anyone dealing with these issues must be aware of key risk areas so that they can ensure compliance.

The FOI requests within the United Kingdom follow a very similar approach to GDPR’s DSARs.

Partner Ashley Winton joins Dana Simberkoff of Avepoint to discuss the latest news on Privacy Shield and what this means for DSARs as well as the motives and methods for DSARs and FOIs.
